    The adjustment to place the sharpest _____ where it is desired on the subject.

    • Focus

    • Light

    • Shutter Speed

    Correct Answer
    A. Focus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is focus. In photography, focus refers to the clarity and sharpness of the subject in an image. Adjusting the focus allows the photographer to control where the sharpest area of the image will be, ensuring that the subject is in clear focus while other areas may be intentionally blurred. This adjustment is crucial in determining the overall quality and impact of the photograph.

    What, on a camera, is the opening through which light travels?

    • Aperture

    • Shutter Speed

    • ISO

    Correct Answer
    A. Aperture
    Explanation
    The aperture is the opening through which light travels on a camera. It is a crucial component that controls the amount of light that enters the camera, thus affecting the exposure of the image. By adjusting the size of the aperture, photographers can control the depth of field, which determines the amount of the image that is in focus. A wider aperture (smaller f-number) allows more light to enter and creates a shallow depth of field, while a narrower aperture (larger f-number) lets in less light and produces a greater depth of field.
